Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Illy, Illy, Taku on the beat
Let's go!

Turn it on, get 'em off, set it off
Shut it down (smash it out the speakers)
Put 'em in the air like (smash it out the speakers)
Put 'em in the air like (smash it out the speakers)
Put 'em in the air like
Turn it on, get 'em off, set it off
Shut it down (smash it out the speakers)
Put 'em in the air like (smash it out the speakers)
Put 'em in the air like (smash it out the speakers)
Put 'em in the air

It's Illy, Illy
All right

Bad man, bitch, more banded than bandwidth
Tell the forum to suck ball bags
Run the track, no Caulfield or Randwick
But puttin' down like a pure bred holds its advantage
Gold ain't your average, neck up and quit
Gave your disc half a minute, mate, fucking skip
Stiff upper lip, buds piss off
Or bunker down before the clique bum rush your gig
Before something give 'cause my crew
Have accomplished, accomplices on some shit
The real rascals, we bonkers bitch, Taku
Got them bass-lines, 'bout to make the concrete split
So, take the attitude, leave at the door
It's all love, you know the deal if you'd seen it before
We throw bombs in the mosh, C4 to your jaw
And when the motherfucker's screaming for more you give it to 'em like

Turn it on, get 'em off, set it off
Shut it down (smash it out the speakers)
Put 'em in the air like (smash it out the speakers)
Put 'em in the air like (smash it out the speakers)
Put 'em in the air like
Turn it on, get 'em off, set it off
Shut it down (smash it out the speakers)
Put 'em in the air like (smash it out the speakers)
Put 'em in the air like (smash it out the speakers)
Put 'em in the air

Like you rolled in literal like glaucoma victims
But the crowd bounce like there ain't a single fucking stoner in 'em
We hit the road like the homeless
And return like homing pigeons, roll like a pig in shit
Black out like solar eclipses
My peeps leap fake Capones holding their stitches
When the front of house and the fallbacks banging
It's a given, follow tradition, get on the band wagon
We pole position, ain't giving an inch and
Ain't willing to bend I'm no short in the system
These pussies might as well be hair pulling and pinchin'
For all the affect they're havin', Ill's on a mission
I'm killing it, kick butt, swift kick to the gut
Run amock, couldn't give two fifths of a fuck
If the man ain't with 'em my foe going nuts
Sound man, make the system crunch, your hands up like

Turn it on, get 'em off, set it off
Shut it down (smash it out the speakers)
Put 'em in the air like (smash it out the speakers)
Put 'em in the air like (smash it out the speakers)
Put 'em in the air like
Turn it on, get 'em off, set it off
Shut it down (smash it out the speakers)
Put 'em in the air like (smash it out the speakers)
Put 'em in the air like (smash it out the speakers)
Put 'em in the air

Throw your hands in the air-
Throw your hands in the air-
Hands in the air-
Hands in the air-
Throw your hands in the air-
Hands in the air-
Throw your hands in the air, let the truth be revealed

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
